235/365 - Jim - In Plane Site

( f/10 400mm 1/400 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

There are small airplanes that fly around my house a lot. As I sat out on the deck today while my son played in his sandbox, I was taking photos of clouds. This airplane flew by and I snapped away. I got a decent shot, but it just wasn't very interesting, so I jazzed it up with a Photoshop action.

229/365 - Jim - Parking Lot Light

( f/22 48mm 1/160 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I took my camera with me shopping today. After we left Kohl's I parked in the end of the lot so Carol could feed Nolan. I got out and took some photos of the parking lot lines thinking that would be my photo today. Then I looked around to see what else I could photograph. Finally I looked up and took this shot. I did some major processing in Lightroom to bring out the details, especially in the sky. It looks almost like a painting to me. I wish I had taken a picture of just the clouds...
